LOOKING FOR TRADE.
st. John Wants to Compete With
Portland as Seaport.

OTTAWA, Nov. 14.-The st. John, N. b.,
deputation on trade had its final interview
with the government this afternoon. A sub
sidy will probably be granted line of fast
freight steamers between Liverpool and st.
John. If the experiment is a success, pas
senger steamers ultimately sail into the lat
ter port, which, on the completion of the
Short Line Railway, will become, in the
opinion of the delegates, rival of Port
land. Efforts toward the establishing of
steamship service between Canada and the
West Indies are likely to be successful
shortly. The st. John Forwarding Company
is willing to put steamers on the line.
James Woods, a shipowner of Halifax, is
here interviewing the government and Of
fered to place line of steamers on the,route
making Halifax the northern terminal. He
wants subsidy for carrying the mails
Toronto merchants are also working up the
matter.

telegraph Poles Getting HIGHER.

IhtnntDtC htpOIItT.I
The sharpest rise in the products of che
forest this year seems to be telegraph poles.
Aroostook county formerly furnished a
supply until the crop was about exhausted,
and then Canada was invaded, and for
several years the bulk of the supply came
from that region. Now it is with difficulty
that they can be obtained there, and tele-
graph. electric light and telephone com
nienced to obtained the proper sticks. Poles
that brought 90 cents each few years ago,
now readily command $3.50 each, and cannot
be obtained as fast as wanted at that figure.
A recent order of the Gardiner Light and
Power Company, whose poles come from
Canada, one-half had to be thrown away as
unfit for use. They are now trying to hunt
up some to take their place.

Sensational Developments In the In
vostIgatIon of the Wilson Scandal.

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Gladstone, replying to
the secretary Of the London Radical Club
wrote today: "The question as to whether
the home secretary had right to suppress
the meetings in Trafalgar Square was Of
great moment to the inhabitants Of London,
and particularly to those unemployed and in
distress. 1t will be generally felt that the
state of the law in regard to it, ought to be
promptly tested. Until decision can be had,
it is the duty Of every citizen to refrain from
all resistance to the decision Of the execu-
tive of the government, which is clearly en-
titled to administer the laws according to
what it may be advised is their true con-
struetion. An appeal to Parliament and the
nation on the grave and solemn issues now
raised by the proceedings Of the government
in Ireland would suffer q disastrous preju-
dice were it associated in any manner with
the Metropolitan disturbances"
There Is little doubt but that Gladstone's
advice will be followed.

deeds of violence for which the Chicago
Anarchists were hanged, were loudly ap-
plauded. Resolutions were adopted sympa-

Anarchists and condemning severely the
msconstruction of the laws and they who
unjusty exeelte them hoping that a just
punishment q for their class instinct may
overtake them, and pledging the Anarchists
as men of liberty to carry on the fight until
the oppressed nation is freed from the blood
thirsty hyenas known as capitalists. The
resolutions commend the courage with which
the condemned men looked death in the eye
for the cause of freedom, and hoping from
their blood freedom for all mankind may
